About this listen

Week 5 of Talanoa Ako, continuing the conversation with teachers Alisi Tatafu, Mangere College, Auckland & Alapasita Lavaka, Otahuhu School Auckland.

We unpack what literacy and numeracy really look like in today’s classrooms — from reading, writing, speaking and understanding language, to building confidence with numbers, problem-solving and real-world math's skills.

We also explore:

  • The new literacy and numeracy curriculum for Years 1–10
  • What students need to achieve NCEA Levels 1, 2 and 3
  • The 10 Literacy (or Te Reo Matatini) and 10 Numeracy (or Pāngarau) credit requirements
  • The new NCEA co-requisite and what it means for your child’s learning journey
  • Insights and helpful tools from the Pacific PISA resource
  • How structured literacy and numeracy approaches are being introduced in classrooms
  • Why clear, consistent learning standards matter — not just here in Aotearoa, but internationally

If you’re a parent, caregiver, educator or student, this episode will help you better understand the pathway and how we can work together to support our young people to succeed.
